The difference between Boma / Jiko is somewhat similar to the difference between Whispering Cyn / Artist Point. One is a buffet- with really good food - The other is a sit-down fine-dining restaurant with exceptional food. Children running around the tables at Boma is common-place (they have their own buffet area), children running around the tables at jiko would be just plain rude. At Boma, the house wine would be fine with dinner (if you even bothered to order wine), at Jiko - you might let the waiter choose a nice African vintage for you. We eat at both restaurants when we go to WDW, and love them both- but for different reasons.... By the way - -- Reading the menu for Jiko doesn't do the food justice IMHO. Jill
